ISSUE OF THE DAY
The lone consistent criticism of Michigan this season has been the Wolverines' schedule.
Who have they played?
Sunday, that finally stops -- as Michigan faces its first true road test of the season at rival Ohio State. And, to make matters more interesting, the Wolverines will be playing for a No. 1 ranking.
A victory in Columbus (something Michigan hasn't accomplished since 2003) would give the Wolverines the first 17-0 record in program history. And with Duke's loss Saturday, a win over OSU would likely put Michigan at No. 1 nationally for the first time since the start of the 1992-93 campaign.
Michigan's facing a good opponent, on the road, with pressure and a national audience watching.
The Wolverines have done an awful lot of clobbering this year, but they haven't had a spotlight like this.
Will the pressure get to Michigan, or will the Wolverines respond?
